Who was Sheetal? Haryana-based model found dead in Sonipat canal

A model from Haryana, named Sheetal, was discovered dead in a canal in Sonipat district with her throat cut, according to police on Monday. The woman departed from her home two days ago on June 14, and a report for her disappearance was lodged in Panipat.

The victim, known as Sheetal or Simmy Chaudhry, was a model involved in the music industry of Haryana. Prior to her modeling career, Sheetal was employed at a hotel in Karnal. She began her career in the music industry six months ago.

According to a report by The Tribune, Sheetal originally came from the village of Khalila Majra in Panipat. Sonipat police stated that they arrived at the location where Sheetal’s body was discovered and have started an inquiry.

“We received information about the presence of the body of a woman in a canal. Police reached the spot and initiated an investigation. In the process of identifying the body, it was found that a missing report for a woman, Sheetal, had been filed in Panipat. The Police are undertaking further actions,” Sonipat ACP Headquarters Ajit Singh as saying.

Sheetal’s sister, Neha, filed a missing report in Panipat on June 14 after she did not come back home from a shoot for a Haryanvi album in the state’s Ahar village, said Sonipat ACP (headquarters) Ajeet Singh.

According to Neha, Sheetal called her on the night of June 14 and said that her former friend, identified as Sunil from Panipat, had reached the shooting venue and beat her up.

“She also told me that Sunil was mounting pressure on her to go with her. Thereafter, her phone disconnected, and she was unreachable. On Sunday, Sunil’s car slipped into a canal in Delhi, and he was taken out by a passerby, but my sister was not in the car. We suspect that Sunil killed my sister, and he is concocting a false story. He is undergoing treatment in a hospital in Panipat,” Neha added.

Neha alleged that Sheetal had befriended Sunil while working at his hotel in Karnal.

“Sunil mounted pressure on her to tie a knot, but she came to know that he was already married and the father of two kids. Then, Sheetal left the job, but the hotel owner continued to chase her,” she added.
